Dr Diane Tay

I am Dr Diane Tay, a Specialist Paediatric Dentist and welcome to my website. I offer a full range of dental services for infants, children and adolescents, including those with special needs. Paediatric dentists are specialists who are trained and qualified to provide comprehensive dental care for children from infancy through adulthood.

Sydney Specialist Dental Group is a new Specialist Dental Centre in the heart of St Peters. Dr Diane Tay and the team of specialists offer a full range of dental services for infants, children, adolescents and adults including those with special needs.

Whilst we love to see our patients for regular check-ups, we also specialise in complex cases where extensive treatment may be required, and/or where the patient is too young or too anxious to simply have the work done 'in the chair'.Appointments for an initial consultation are generally available within a very reasonable timeframe, with urgent cases given priority.

The use of sedation in Paediatric dentistry is a common way of delivering dental care in a compassionate and appropriate manner for young children. There are many reasons why these services are provided and the use of oral sedatives, medications and/or the use of nitrous oxide sedation (happy gas) are the two most common forms of sedation in paediatric dentistry.

Although many of my patients are referred from their general dentist, no referral is required to see me. Appointments can be made by completing the contact form or calling my friendly staff, at your most convenient location, and they will help arrange your child's appointment. I welcome self-referrals from parents who seek direct access to specialist dental care.

Your first appointment involves a consultation and examination. During this time you will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns in a relaxed, child-friendly setting. It is also a time for your child to feel comfortable in the clinical environment with both Dr Diane and her staff. Low dose x-rays may be taken if appropriate.
